If you want to hear a communication system, such as a Scala or Sena:
- There are two options for wearing hearing protection while needing to listen to a helmet communication system. The first option is to go with the HearSmartTM Music Earplugs. They will provide clarity for hearing your system, specifically if you listen to music. There are 4 filter levels to choose from based on how much sound reduction you need. Each number (HS Music 12, 17, 19, 25) refers to the average dB level the filter will reduce. But keep in mind, you will still be reducing the sound of not only the wind, but also your communication system as well; therefore, you will need to turn your volume up louder to hear it.
- The best option for listening to a communication system on a helmet is to integrate our Audiofuse Earphones (AFE-1, AFE-2, AFE-3). Most communication systems on the market these days are equipped with a 3.5mm audio output receptacle that you simply plug our 3.5mm jack into. Some of the older systems do not have the audio output; however, there are after-market kits, such as Sena’s Clamp Kit, that can be incorporated to enable you to plug the Earphones into your communication system. We offer a short 20” wire for this purpose in specific; therefore, the wire will only reach to the helmet’s audio output, so you won’t have extra wire to deal with.
Your communication system will function as normal EXCEPT; you will hear high fidelity sound through our speakers that are built into your own custom earmolds. This way you have hearing protection from the wind, and can hear your communication system crystal clear without the need to turn the volume up louder than what’s comfortable. You can also purchase a wire extension at most electronics outlets for times you would like the wire longer to enable you to plug into a device such as a phone, laptop, or airplane system.
